Bike Route Blockers

at 4:50 am posted by Chris C

http://edmontonbikes.ca/brb/

This is a site for all of you Edmonton-area cyclists who come across situations where cars are blatantly breaking traffic laws in a way that endangers you and/or prevents you from cycling safely and efficiently throughout the city.

Armed with cameras, we will document the actions of those who disregard traffic laws to show that we do have legitimate concerns about our rights on the road.

Cars aren’t the only hazards in bike lanes, either. Anything on the roadway that shouldn’t be there can be an obstacle to safety and efficiency.  Gravel, potholes, glass and snow may all force you to change course in order to ensure your own safety.

We have posted the phone numbers of who you should call in these situations to ensure that the appropriate authorities are aware of the infractions and can address the situation accordingly.

BikeWorks hours: (effective June 1, 2010)
Monday-Thursday: 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Saturday: 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Sunday (first and third of the month, women and transgendered persons only): 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Sunday (all others): 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm

Closed on holidays unless otherwise noted.
